Reporting and Analyzing Cash Flows
Q4-1. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that firms acquire
with temporarily idle cash to earn interest on these excess funds. To qualify as
a cash equivalent, an investment must (1) be easily convertible into a known
cash amount and (2) be close enough to maturity so that its market value is not
sensitive to interest rate changes (generally, investments with initial maturities
of three months or less). Three examples of cash equivalents are treasury bills,
commercial paper, and money market funds.
Q4-2. Cash equivalents are included with cash in a statement of cash flows because
the purchase and sale of such investments are considered to be part of a firm's
overall management of cash rather than a source or use of cash. Similarly, as
statement users evaluate cash flows, it may matter very little to them whether
the cash is on hand, deposited in a bank account, or invested in cash
equivalents.
Q4-3. Operating activities
Inflow: Cash received from customers
Outflow: Cash paid to suppliers
Investing activities
Inflow: Sale of equipment
Outflow: Purchase of stocks and bonds
Financing activities
Inflow: Issuance of common stock
Outflow: Payment of dividends

This relationship can be presented in the following indirect method cash flow from

Cash flow from (used in) operating activities ($ 23,200)
Weber Company's 2018 operating activities provided $4,000 cash. The dividend paid to
shareholders affects cash flows from financing activities.
A “+” indicates that the amount is added and a “-“ indicates that it is subtracted when
preparing the cash flow statement using the indirect method.

To make the inventory account work properly, X (purchases) must equal $101,000. If
purchases were $101,000, then Y (payments to suppliers) must equal $105,000.
or
Chakravarthy Company received $814,000 in cash from its customers and paid $569,000
in cash to its suppliers.
c. None of the firms has sufficient cash flow to cover their current liabilities although
none of the ratios is alarmingly low. The industry ratios shown in Chapter 5, show
that only Merck is below median. Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson are the larger of
these companies and have relatively more cash left over after capital expenditures
to consider using on other activities that could strengthen the firm’s operating or
financial position. But all four have significant free cash flow that could be invested
or returned to shareholders in the form of dividends or stock repurchases. Given
that these firms are of different sizes and have different research program success,
it is difficult to generalize further.
c. All three companies are producing much more cash than needed for capital
expenditures. All of them are returning substantial amounts of cash to shareholders
through dividends and share repurchases. ExxonMobil appears to be in the best
position with respect to OCFCL, but it is lower than the industry average reported in
Chapter 5. Wal-Mart and Coca-Cola have lower ratios, and are also below the
average ratio for their industries.

Statement of Cash Flows
For Year Ended December 31, 2018
The basic approach here is to use the beginning and ending balances and the
additional information to reconstruct what must have happened during 2018. Begin by
setting up the T-accounts for property, plant and equipment with the beginning and
ending balances.
At this point in the book, we know four entries that can affect these two accounts – (1)
acquisitions using cash, (2) acquisitions without cash (other financing), (3) disposals,
and (4) depreciation expense. The journal entries for these entries are given below,
with amounts given in the problem filled in.
a. The PPE at cost account will only balance if the value X equals 200. So, the original
cost of the used equipment that was sold is €200. We can put that amount in the T-
account (so it balances) and also in Journal entry (3).
b. Now, looking at journal entry (3), we see that there is only one unknown left – the
depreciation that had accumulated on the used equipment. In order for the entry to
balance (with debits equal to credits), the accumulated depreciation must have been
120 (= Y). Cost of 200 and accumulated depreciation of 120 would produce a net
book value of 80, so when Meubles Fischer sold it for 100, they recorded a gain of 20
on the disposal.
c. Back at the Accumulated depreciation T-account, we can fill in the entry for (3),
leaving only the depreciation expense to determine for entry (4). Knowing that the
disposal reduced the contra-asset by 120, and that the contra-asset increased by 40
over the year, we can infer than the depreciation expense must have been €160 (= Z).
The basic approach here is to use the beginning and ending balances and the
additional information to reconstruct what must have happened during 2018. Begin by
setting up the T-accounts for property, plant and equipment with the beginning and
ending balances.
At this point in the course, we know four entries that can affect these two accounts – (1)
acquisitions using cash, (2) acquisitions without cash (other financing), (3) disposals,
and (4) depreciation expense. The journal entries for these entries are given below,
with amounts given in the problem filled in.
a. The PPE at cost account will only balance if the value X equals 20. So, the original
cost of the used equipment that was sold is £20. We can put that amount in the T-
account (so it balances) and also in Journal entry (3).
b. The accumulated depreciation account will only balance if the value Y equals 12.
So, the accumulated depreciation on the used equipment sold must be £12, and that
amount can be entered into transaction (3) above.
c. Now, looking at journal entry (3), we see that there is only one unknown left – the
amount of cash received from disposal of the used equipment. In order for the entry
to balance (with debits equal to credits), the cash amount must have been £3 million
(= Z). Cost of 20 and accumulated depreciation of 12 would produce a net book
value of 8, so when Kasznik Ltd. sold it for 3, they recorded a loss of 5 on the
disposal.
-57 +1,484
X + = + -89,052
(=8,899-8,956) (=12,484-11,000)
The solution to this is that X = -$89,052 + 57 + 1,484 = -$87,511. So, the payments to
suppliers reduced cash by $87,511 million in fiscal year 2017.
b. The net property and equipment account decreased by $693 million (=$13,642 –
$14,335). Depreciation expense would have decreased this balance by $1,545 million
in fiscal year 2017, so the net investment must have been $852 million (=-$693 +
$1,545) to result in the ending balance of $13,642 million.
c. With the beginning balance of $27,684 million in retained earnings, net earnings of
$4,078 would have increased retained earnings to $31,762 million. But the ending
balance in retained earnings is $30,137 million, so Walgreens Boots must have paid
$1,625 million in dividends (=$31,762 - $30,137).
a. The net increase in property and equipment, cost was $821,989 (= $98,190,992 -
$97,369,003). Expenditures should have increased this by $1,182,854, and the non-
cash transaction another $239,382. Therefore, the original cost of the property and
equipment sold must have been $600,247 (= $1,182,854 + $239,382 - $821,989).
b. The book value of the property and equipment sold was zero (=$600,247 – $600,247),
and the reported gain on sale of the property and equipment was $56,446. Therefore,
the cash proceeds on the sale of these fully-depreciated assets must have been
$56,446!
c.
Cash (+A) $ 56,446
Accumulated depreciation (-XA, +A) 600,247
Property and equipment, cost (-A) $ 600,247
Gain on sale of property and equipment (+R, +SE) 56,446
